Unit Test- Formation of the Earth’s surface and Plate Tectonics:
1. Label the layers of the Earth. Give a brief description of each layer. Include the inner core, outer core mantle, lithosphere, oceanic crust and continental crust.
1. Who created the theory of continental drift? What evidence did he provided for his theory?
3. Write a short definition for the following-
a. diverging plate-
b. converging plate-
c. transform boundary-
e. subduction zone-
4 Draw a picture of convection current. Label where it is being heated and cooled. Explain why a convection current forms. Apply your knowledge of convection currents to explain plate movements.
5. How fast do plates move?
6. What was Harry Hess’ theory to explain the movement of plates? What was the evidence he provided? Explain your thinking.
7. At the mid Atlantic ridge where is the youngest rock and where is the oldest? Explain why?
Draw and explain how a mountain forms. Be sure to include what types of plates will form a mountain.
Draw the formation of a volcano. What is a volcano made out of and give a definition
10. Explain what causes and earthquake.
11. Explain how the scientific discovery of plate tectonics was a process.
